Title: Using USPS brand priority boxes
Post by: schultz64 on February 02, 2012, 12:33 am
I was thinking about becoming a vendor and I have a question.

This probably sounds paranoid but could USPS track you with the bar code on their USPS brand priority boxes and envelopes? If I was going to order some boxes should I rip the bar code off or not use them at all?

Thanks for any help.

I would just get some in person. Are you applying postage to send or??

Yea, picking them up in person is definitely a better option. I'd probably keep a backlog of them so that you aren't sending out the same ones you just picked up the other day; make them go back multiple days if they're going to check that. No reason to be too incredibly paranoid, though.

I buy 20 priority mail stamps at a time. I prefer the envelopes as stuff can rattle inside the box. Also I can just throw the stuff in a padded envelope than throw it in the Flat Rate envelope.

Yeah, seriously don't buy postage online/from the machine....than its traceable to you.

Buy it at the counter at USPS, pay in cash.
